Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune will be airing its seventh season on ABC’s linear schedule this fall. But fans of the game show will be pleased to hear that Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White will also be hosting more episodes exclusively on streaming. Deadline understands that ten new episodes of the show will drop on Disney’s two streaming platforms on Friday, June 12. These episodes, which will see a raft of celebrity guests spinning the wheel for a chance to win up to $1M for charity, will also get a second run on ABC at some stage. It’s not entirely clear why Disney made the decision to launch a number of streaming exclusive episodes of the long-running series, which was previously hosted by Pat Sajak. Disney previously moved Dancing with the Stars exclusively to Disney+ for Season 31, but this is the first time that one of its unscripted shows has had original episodes airing on linear and streaming. Hulu previously had a number of exclusive episodes of Family Guy that did not air on Fox but that show is also produced by Disney’s 20th Television Animation. Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is produced by Sony Pictures Television with Bellamie Blackstone as executive producer. Celebrity guests appearing on the exclusive streaming episodes include |

Jeff Probst is slamming prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket for allowing users to make trades about who won “Survivor” Season 50, saying that the companies are “incentivizing people to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead.” “They have figured out a way to capitalize on [the show],” he tells Variety. “It doesn’t sit well with me as a human. I get it — they built a great business. They don’t care.” Aubry Bracco wasn’t officially crowned as the Sole Survivor of “Survivor 50” until the finale on Wednesday night, but many fans were spoiled on her win in advance due to widely circulated reports about her odds on Kalshi and Polymarket. On both platforms, she was forecast to have above an 80% chance of winning before the season even premiered. By the finale, Kalshi’s “Survivor” market had reached a volume of $32.7 million, with Bracco at 97% odds. Moments before the finale debuted on Wednesday night, Kalshi sent out a push notification that read, “Survivor S50 finale TONIGHT. Aubry’s at 97% — is the island already decided?” Probst learned how much money was in Kalshi’s “Survivor” market, and that they’d sent out the cheeky notification, for the first time while being interviewed by Variety. “I’m not happy about it,” he said. “I am learning this in real time — this is announced before our finale?” As reported by Variety, Hollywood executives are concerned that the growing popularity of prediction markets is leading to insider trading and that widespread spoilers will reduce suspense and hurt their shows’ ratings. But Kalshi is adamant that its ban on insider trading is being enforced effectively and that its “Survivor” market has been thoroughly investigated. Executives at the company believe traders are drawing from public rumors on Reddit and other online communities — and while the anonymous people starting those rumors might be insiders breaking their NDAs, the traders listening to them are still following the law. Therefore, it’s not up to Kalshi to crack down on them. “Survivor” cast and crew members all sign agreements that prohibit the use of insider knowledge for gambling or any monetary gain, and additional reminders — specifically mentioning Kalshi and Polymarket — were sent out during the release of Season 50. CBS is also incorporating language about prediction markets in “Survivor” contracts moving forward. But Probst maintains that it’s unfair to put the onus on networks and studios to manage the spread of these spoilers. “Clearly, if 90% of the people are voting for somebody, there’s a leak. But to look at us, the producers, as though we have a problem, is the mirror pointing in the wrong direction,” he says. “[Prediction market platforms] are the ones with the problem, not us. We went and made our show in a vacuum, and we keep it very tightly contained, but if you are foolish and naive enough to not think that somebody might leak it, that’s your problem.” He continues: “If the idea is that ‘Survivor’ needs to do a better job of managing our spoilers, you just don’t know anything about humans. That’s ridiculous. You’re telling me there’s a way I can make money by sharing information I have, and I might not ever get caught? Of course, people are going to do that. And if I found out somebody on our show bet on this, they’d be fired.” In a new statement, Kalshi spokesperson Elisabeth Diana emphasizes the company’s position that prediction markets can be additive to the reality TV experience, creating excitement rather than stifling viewership. But the company is now taking Probst’s concerns to heart. “If the market volume on ‘Survivor’ is any indication, this isn’t something that’s stopping people from caring about ‘Survivor,'” Diana says. “That being said, we’re looking at adding product features to prevent spoilers.” |

Meanwhile, in Greece... |
|
"Survivor Greece" was forced to end early after a contestant sustained major injuries while spearfishing in the Dominican Republic earlier this month. Following the event, a statement put out by production company AcunMedya revealed that Stavros Floros lost part of his left leg and experienced trauma in his right foot after a boat hit him by accident. The incident took place near Saona Island while Floros was off duty from filming. "The competent port authorities are investigating the causes of the incident in order to fully determine the circumstances. The contestant remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition and is out of danger," read the AcunMedya statement. Meanwhile, SKAI Television, the network that airs "Survivor Greece," issued a statement pledging to "contribute in every possible way to [Floros'] treatment, as well as to any hospitalization and rehabilitation care that may be required." This year's "Survivor Greece" might have ended prematurely, but Stavros Floros has been crowned its undisputed champ. The last episode of the European reality series saw host Giorgos Lianos announce the decision to wrap up the festivities early before praising the injured contestant for his resilience. "Everyone has been amazed by the courage and strength of a true survivor," Lianos said (via tovima.com). "The winner of this year's 'Survivor' and the €250,000 prize is Stavros, because he is a real survivor, because he truly deserves it, and because it is one of the few things we can do for him." Lianos added that the health, safety, and well-being of the show's participants come first, hence the decision to conclude the 2026 installment of "Survivor Greece" early. The next season has yet to be formally announced. |

Kyle Busch, a generational talent who rose to become a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and one of the sport’s greatest drivers, died Thursday. He was 41. Busch’s death, which was announced by the Busch family, NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing, marked a sudden, staggering blow to the motorsports community. His team had indicated earlier Thursday that Busch had been hospitalized with a severe illness. Busch was in his 22nd full-time season in NASCAR’s top division, where he won two Cup Series titles (2015, 2019) and 63 races — a figure that ranks ninth on the circuit’s all-time win list. His numbers across the other two national NASCAR series are record-setting, with 102 victories in what is now called the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and 69 wins in the Craftsman Truck Series. The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR made the following joint statement: “On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch. “Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR’s highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation.’ Our thoughts are with Samantha, Brexton and Lennix, Kyle and Samantha’s parents, Kurt and all of Kyle’s family, Richard and Judy Childress, everyone at Richard Childress Racing, his teammates, friends and fans. NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon. “During this incredibly difficult time, we ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy and continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Further updates will be shared as appropriate.” Busch drove for three Hall of Fame team owners in Cup, getting his start with Hendrick Motorsports as a heralded rookie in stock-car racing’s big leagues in 2005. He joined Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008, establishing a long-running partnership that made him the face of Toyota’s NASCAR endeavors. He spent the final stages of his career with Childress, arriving in 2023 and taking the reins of the No. 8 Chevrolet. In game shows, Busch was featured on episodes of Nashville Squares, The $100,000 Pyramid, Sports Jeopardy! & Jeopardy!. Most recently, he participated on NASCAR Week on Wheel of Fortune back in February. "Ryan, Vanna, and the entire Wheel family is saddened to hear of the passing of Kyle Busch," the show posted on its socials. "We were grateful for the chance to spend time with him during NASCAR Week this year and to witness the kindness and energy he brought to everyone around him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and the entire racing community." |

The BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing has replaced Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly with not two but three hosts. Love is Blind UK host Emma Willis, professional dancer Johannes Radebe and comedian Josh Widdicombe will take the reins of one of the UK’s biggest entertainment shows. Widdicombe will take over Winkleman’s role in the show’s former “Clauditorium,” while Radebe will act as a roving reporter, the BBC said. Winkleman and Daly exited in 2025 from the hit show, which has had to grapple with several scandals over the past couple of years. The past few months have seen many of the UK’s top talents considered for the hot presenter gig and in the end the BBC has opted for a diverse trio. Willis is a presenter who has presided over the likes of Love is Blind UK and Swiped: The School That Banned Smartphones. Radebe has been on Strictly as a professional dancer for years, first on the South African version and then the UK. In 2021, he was partnered with Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite, who became the show’s first male same-sex couple. Widdicombe is a comedian who presents a number of British TV and radio shows. BBC chief content boss Kate Phillips said the trio’s “chemistry is undeniable.” “There’s been so much speculation and hype, so I’m relieved we can share the news with the public at last. I’d like to thank all the brilliant people we saw before making this tough decision. But the most beloved ballroom in the UK always leads the way, and in a Strictly first we have chosen three outstanding hosts to take up the mantle.” The Strictly host job is hugely coveted. Daly and Winkleman had been hosting Strictly since Bruce Forsyth stepped down in 2013, at which point Winkleman, who had already been helming the results show, took over. Winkleman has been busy since leaving. She hosts two versions of The Traitors per year and has been given her own chatshow by the BBC. The news comes at a difficult time for the 20-year-old show. In 2024 it was was hit with scandal as two professional dancers exited following allegations of misconduct. The BBC attempted to move on last year but was hit with further scandal when it had to launch an investigation into allegations of drug use on the show. Produced by BBC Studios, Strictly has aired on the BBC from September to Christmas since 2004. The U.S. version, Dancing with the Stars, has been on TV for 20 years and multiple other versions air around the world. |

For the first time since 2008, a network other than CBS can claim the title of the most-watched broadcaster in primetime. NBC will win the 2025-26 season in total viewers — the first time that’s happened since the latter days of Must-See TV. With the September-to-May TV season coming to a close, NBC will finish with an across-the-board win among all viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. The victory is thanks in no small part to two-plus weeks in February, when the second most-watched Super Bowl ever and a resurgent Winter Olympics put NBC out of reach of its fellow broadcast networks. Through May 17, NBC has averaged 5.83 million viewers in primetime this season, up about 14 percent from 2024-25. CBS — which had won every season since 2008-09 in total viewers — is second with 4.63 million (down 19 percent), a little ahead of ABC‘s 4.33 million (up 1 percent). Fox rounds out the big four networks with 3.41 million viewers (down 11 percent). Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this story are Nielsen linear ratings only and don’t include streaming (which would bump up the averages for all four networks by a significant amount). The total viewer win for the season is NBC’s first since the 2001-02 season, when Friends and ER were two of the top three shows on TV. The network also had the top show this season in Sunday Night Football, which extended its record of consecutive No. 1 finishes to 15 seasons. SNF averaged 21 million viewers on NBC and 23.5 million including streaming on Peacock and other digital platforms. CBS fell the farthest, partly because of some declines in individual shows. But the network also rested most of its scripted series, including strong performers like Tracker, NCIS and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, in January and most of February, two of the higher-use TV months of the year. ABC edged up, and measuring entertainment programming only (i.e., not sports and news), it’s the only network to grow year to year in total viewers. Fox had some successes with shows like Best Medicine, Doc and Fear Factor: House of Fear; its year-to-year decline is explained mostly by having had the Super Bowl last season and not this season. NBC also led the key ad-sales demographics of adults 18-49 and 25-54. In the 18-49 demo, it scored a 1.01 rating (equivalent to about 1.37 million viewers in that age range) in primetime for NBC’s first win in that measure since the 2021-22 season (also a Super Bowl/Winter Olympics year). Fox came in second with a 0.64 rating/871,000 viewers, followed by ABC (0.57/776,000) and CBS (0.45/613,000). Among adults 25-54, NBC posted a 1.32 rating, equivalent to 1.66 million viewers. Fox (0.83/1.04 million) edged ABC (0.77/968,000) for second place, and CBS was fourth at 0.64/804,000. |

More on 100 Cooks |
|
Food Network celebrates home cooks this summer with the brand-new series 100 Cooks - the biggest, boldest home cook competition in the network's history. Hosted by actor, television host and former pro football player Terry Crews, the series welcomes 100 of the country's best home cooks to run through an epic seven-week culinary gauntlet where 99 cooks will be eliminated and only one is named America's best home cook and wins as much as $250,000. From firefighters and college students to corporate lawyers and stay-at-home moms and dads, these competitors are from all walks of life and share a passion and talent for food. In each episode, competitors are selected at random by a lottery ball "Cook Mixer" to come to the floor after the "Challenge Mixer" dictates what food-themed battle they will face. Each round is judged by top culinary content creator Nick DiGiovanni and Food Network all-star Alex Guarnaschelli, who will determine who stays in the competition each week and who is sent home. 100 Cooks premieres Sunday, June 7th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network and streams the next day on HBO Max. The premiere episode will also be available globally on Nick DiGiovanni's YouTube channel. Following the U.S. launch, 100 Cooks will be localized and roll out in around thirty of WBD's international territories, across networks, discovery+ and HBO Max. "This is the kind of competition I live for - big energy, big stakes and 100 talented home cooks bringing everything they've got," said host Terry Crews. "Every challenge was unpredictable, every dish had a story and the passion in that kitchen blew me away. Seeing their creativity up close was an incredible experience - and an absolute blast!" |

The Chasers Is On |
|
Tom Brady is going social with his next series. His Shadow Lion production shingle is behind “Chasers,” which it’s dubbing “the world’s first trading-card trivia format.” Brady will appear in the premiere episode, which launches May 20 on YouTube. Kevin Bonner hosts “Chasers,” which will feature celebrity guests as they aim to identify four cards via insightful questions — and then dive deep into how they’re connected. Here’s how the digital series is explained: “In each episode, a different celebrity guest attempts to answer trivia questions to identify cards that are in some way related to their lives. Someone from their hometown, a player they share a record with, or maybe just an unknown obsession or skill. Each card starts a new topic of conversation, and correct answers reveals a card to win a guess in the final round.” This reps Shadow Lion’s first social show. “Chasers” will drop biweekly on YouTube beginning May 20; after its initial premiere, 90-second episode cutdowns will appear on Instagram and TikTok. Brady noted that the series was inspired in part by his life-long collecting hobby, as well as the growth of his “CardVault by Tom Brady” business. “My team at Shadow Lion launching ‘Chasers’ is the perfect way to keep the momentum rolling,” Brady said in a statement. “The hobby has so much to offer, and this show meets people where they are. At the end of the day, I just love seeing all my friends working together in the same orbit.” Brady is an executive producer on “Chasers,” along with Bonner, Gilad Haas and Philip Byron. Ethan Byrne is the director. |

This Season's Pointless Friends |
|
BBC One and BBC iPlayer’s Pointless has unveiled a brand-new line-up of celebrity co-hosts who will be joining host Alexander Armstrong on upcoming episodes of the Remarkable Entertainment produced (a Banijay UK company) show for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Some of the famous faces set to appear on the show include Susan Wokoma, Gok Wan, Nish Kumar, Lucy Porter, Michael Ball, Ben Miller, Sara Pascoe and Clare Balding. Alexander Armstrong, Host of Pointless, says: “We are back and I am raring to go alongside a raft of absolutely joyous co-hosts to deliver more random and fascinating facts. I've just got to remind myself which sovereign states are members of the UN in their own right.” Comedian and actor, Ben Miller, said: “Armstrong and Miller are BACK... on Pointless!!! Xander finally succumbed to my pleading emails and I am so excited. Not only to work with my old mate again but also to dazzle viewers with my extensive general knowledge (discretely delivered to my screen by the show’s producers). I can't wait to get started and Pointless-the-heck out of this.” Actress and writer, Susan Wokoma, says: “Not being funny but this was the role I was meant to play - sat down, sounding intelligent all whilst basking in the glory of Xander Armstrong? Sign me up! Very, very excited to be keeping warm the Pointless co-pilot seat.” Singer, presenter and actor, Michael Ball, added: “What a joy to get to sit in the hot seat with the pointless team. I love the show, love Xander, love the fact that this time I’ll know all the answers and I promise to try to not be too judgmental if people say daft things…I’ll try, but I can’t promise anything.” Comedian and actress, Sara Pascoe, added: “I’m coming to that co-host seat to learn. I’ll swot up all the facts and then next series I’ll enter as a competitor, win the show and steal Xander’s job. It’s a whole game plan.” Broadcaster Clare Balding said: “I’ve competed on the show many times, and I always walk around asking myself what the pointless answer to any question in life could be. To be sat in the co-host chair where I have all the pointless answers in front of me, is wonderful. It’s such a warm, friendly environment and I’m looking forward to working with the lovely Alexander Armstrong.” Caroline O’Neill, Commissioning Executive for BBC Daytime comments: “Pointless yet again delivers another great cohort of hosts set to join Alexander as they question another group of contestants searching for the Pointless answer. It’s the hottest seat on the telly and we can’t wait for audiences to enjoy.” Laura Turner, Executive Producer, Remarkable Entertainment, says: “It's so exciting to see the Pointless family continue to grow with even more marvellous faces gracing the co-host desk. The questions are polled, the contestants are booked and the trophies are gleaming. We can't wait to get filming.” Pointless broadcasts on BBC One at 5.15pm. |
